AFAIK it's accrued when the server issues the ACSM "ticket" for the first time, but I'm not 100% sure. I'm sure it is why, or at least a major reason why, Kobo maintains their own format. I think Google has their own format (ePub based, but not "Adobe ePub") for their apps as well as they would avoid the DRM fee in the same way Kobo would.
